idk but i hope it wont block some features on the game like Career and stuff it will just give u bonus masks and stuff not to add extra maps and block career mod to regular pre order or just give u a 4 pack and a beta passes

I noticed that too. It is kind of odd, but I remember when L4D2 came out for preorder, the bonus was referred to as BATDLC or something. Like it would later be DLC. It wasn't.
I'm not going to worry about it. I'm just excited.

From another forum (not sure if real, posted by old user with many posts):

PAYDAY 2: Standart Edition (29,99$)

Pre-Order PAYDAY 2 Standart Edition to get:

- A copy of PAYDAY The Heist - Already own it? Give the extra copy to a friend!

PAYDAY 2: Criminal Edition (39,99$)

Pre-Order PAYDAY 2 Criminal Edition to get:

- BETA access (play the early BETA version of the game, not available yet)
- 2 exclusive PAYDAY masks
- 2 unlock tokens (unlock 2 items by your choice and use them from the start)
- Get the first DLC for free
- A copy of PAYDAY The Heist - Already own it? Give the extra copy to a friend!

If it only give u masks and tokens i wont buy it. for free first DLC and copy of PAYDAY:THE HEIST and Beta i will sureley buy it so it will be worth 60$ if what he mentioned in the Criminal edition will be true

Nothing has yet been mentioned about the beta.
Overkill have even denied it so far, but they have confirmed working on a DLC.
But i believe i will go for the special edition anyway. I don't think i will change my mind when the details comes out.
